So i started changing my fuel filter and i seem to have run into a problem.
I posted this on the earlier fuel filter thread but thought i could get an answer faster this way.
I started changing my filter and the filter currently on the car only has 3 lines running to it while the new filter has places for 4 lines. Is my car weird or what is going on?

My bentleys states that 3-line and 4-line filters were both used.
The extra lines are return lines.
The 4-line filter is used on the 1.8T
The 3-line and 2-line were used on the 3.0.
I am the blissful owner of a 2-line ECS replacement which I havn't installed because I have the 3-line on my car as well.
IF you find a good source for the 3-line please post it.

Also seems to point to this filter being from a 4.2 (S4?)<ul><li><a href="http://www.genuinevwaudiparts.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getLocator&siteid=214407& chapter=EPA257&appSectionid=1&groupid=1002 0&subgroupid=20099&componentid=60645&m ake=2&model=A4&year=2003&

Re: So i started changing my fuel filter and i seem to have run into a problem.
there is an in consistancy in the use of filters at time of manufacturing. My 2004 3.0 does not have the 2 line shown in all internet sites for only $15-20, but has a three line filter that is twice the price. Didn't know until i went to replace it.
